I hear you, but isn't a chain brake a really good idea, or is it just
something that would give false confidence? *Sounds like a real good
idea on the surface. *I was not even thinking about one until I
realized that my saw was one of the few that did not have one.

I put many hours (at least one day/week when weather permits) using
one. *I would not run a saw that doesn't have an operating one. And
that is from someone who ran saws for 20 years before I got my first
saw _with_ a brake on it.

I consider people who speak against chain brakes in the same category
as those who refuse to wear seat belts.

I think I would agree. I am real nervous now. Based on the scary way
the instruction manuals are written for chain saws, I would compare
the chain brake to at least the use of seat belts, maybe even a higher
level. Does the brake stop the chain fast enough that the chain would
be stopped, during kickback, before the chain would hit your body?
